The next morning, Xiang Shaolong, Qi Yanran and others sent Zou Yan out of the city and walked with him for more than ten miles before saying goodbye.
Zou Yan laughed and led more than a hundred generals away, protected by Wu Guo's thousand cavalry.
When Xiang Shaolong returned to Xianyang, it was already dusk.
The rain and snow that stopped last night are falling again.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this eternal separation.
Thinking of my association with this great master who pioneered the study of arithmetic in China, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
If it hadn't been for Grandmaster Zou, not only would he not have gotten Ji Cainü, but he might have died as early as Daliang.
Stepping into the gate of the mansion, Tao Fang came up to him and said, "Yingying has been waiting for you in the east chamber for half an hour."
Xiang Shaolong frowned when he heard this, confessed his crime to all the wives, and came to the east chamber.
Ying Ying was impatient with waiting, so she complained when she saw him: "Where have you been?"
A realization flashed through Xiang Shaolong's heart. He knew that even if Ying Ying changed his mind, he would never be able to accept her again.
This was not because she had been a woman in trouble. It was because he, who came from the 21st century, did not care about a woman's chastity at all.
He had wanted to pursue Yingying before, mainly because of Changping Jun's brotherly love; he was also a little greedy for her beauty. However, after many contacts, the little love he had for this beauty has been ignited by her repeated kindness.
His character that does not distinguish between right and wrong has been extinguished. Now even if someone holds a knife to his neck, he will not mess with Ying Ying.
After having this clear understanding, Xiang Shaolong politely asked her to sit down and said, "What does Miss Ying have to do with Mr. Xiang?"
Yingying heard the coldness and distance in his tone. After being stunned for a while, she said sadly: "I know that you are angry in your heart, but Yingying doesn't know what to say. In three days, you will have a decisive battle with Zhongxie.
I’m really worried about you.”
Seeing that she was not here to persuade him to stop fighting, Xiang Shaolong felt a little better. Thinking of the Hundred Battles Sword and the newly realized Hundred Battles Sword Techniques that combined ancient and modern achievements, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. Life is always full of challenges, big and small."
, Only in this way can life show its moving beauty."
To be honest, if it weren't for the pressure of controlling evil, I probably wouldn't be able to come up with this Hundred Battles Sword Technique.
Yingying raised her pretty face slightly, her beautiful eyes revealed a blank expression, and Zhong Tao said: "I really don't know why I came to see you. Zhongxie keeps practicing his sword every day and has developed various ways to break the spear. Alas, everyone knows you."
I'm not good at using guns at all, so even if I have a flying dragon gun, I'm afraid... well... I'll be very worried."
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Aren't you worried about the evil in Guan?"
Ying Ying nodded sadly and whispered: "It would be best not to have to compete, but I know that no one can change your decision."
He lowered his head again and said quietly: "Thank you very much for what you said to me that day. After thinking about it for a long time, I agreed to Yang Duanhe's marriage, but I haven't told the eldest brother and second brother yet that after your decisive battle, Ruihe will
I will propose marriage."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked and relieved his worries.
He had also met Yang Chuan. He was the youngest and most promising general under Wang Chi. He was highly regarded by Lu Gong and Xu Xian, but he didn't know that he was also pursuing Ying Ying.
In the current situation, whoever can marry Ying Ying will be of great benefit to his career, with the exception of Guan Zhongxie.
Ying Ying glanced at him a little worriedly and asked tentatively: "Are you unhappy?"
How dare Xiang Shaolong show his relief. At the same time, he thought that she really fell in love with Guan Zhongxie, so even if she didn't marry him, she wouldn't marry him. Su Rong said: "This is a wise choice.
, Yang Duanhe will be a very good husband."
Ying Ying looked at him resentfully and said nothing.
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "Miss, now that you have decided for the rest of your life, you must not be half-hearted anymore."
Yingying said sadly: "Don't you blame me?"
Xiang Shaolong sighed: "What do you want me to say?"
This sentence was indeed just right. Yingying calmed down, thought about it and said: "You have to be careful."
Stand up pretty.
Xiang Shaolong sent her out of the house. When leaving, Ying Ying whispered: "If I had a choice, I would hope you win. This is not only for myself, but also for our Daqin. Ying Ying finally figured it out."
Before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes. After giving him a helpless look, he covered his face, got on his horse, and rode off.
Xiang Shaolong stared blankly at Xianyang in the snow, thinking about the sudden end of his relationship, and secretly made up his mind not to mess with any beautiful women again.
But when I think about it, I realize that thinking this way is one thing, but destiny is another matter entirely.
Aren’t Mrs. Zhuang and Li Yanyan two good examples?
Xiang Shaolong returned to the inner house and played with Xiang Bao'er for a while. Teng Yi and Qian Jun came back. The former looked serious, while the latter looked apologetic.
Ji Yanran saw something was wrong and asked for advice.
After Teng Yi sat down, he slapped him several times and cursed: "I have repeatedly told this kid to endure his anger and not to provoke Guoxing, but he still can't help but take action as soon as we meet."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Second brother, please don't get angry. Xiaojun, come and tell me what's going on."
Everyone was surprised when they saw Xiang Shaolong's nonchalant look. Even Jing Jun said in astonishment: "The third brother understands me best. Alas. I'm not saying that the second brother doesn't understand me, but the two understandings are different."
When Teng Yi burst out laughing, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Stop hesitating and speak quickly."
Jing Jun made an innocent and pitiful look, spread his hands and said: "I'm not the one causing trouble this time. I was walking around in Zui Feng Tower just now, and happened to bump into those traitors from the Weinan Warrior Hall, and of course "Scarface" Guoxing was indispensable. I
I had made up my mind to turn a blind eye to them. Little did I know that they deliberately made sarcastic remarks and insulted my third brother. I don’t want to repeat those words. In short, they relied on Miao Du to back them up and had no scruples at all. I can tolerate anything.
, but we cannot tolerate them spreading rumors that damage the reputation of Third Brother."
Zhao Zhi frowned and said, "What exactly did they say?"
Teng Yi said in a deep voice: "Those people did go a bit too far, saying that the third brother is Lu Buwei's male favorite. Hey, it's a shame they said it out loud."
Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes flashed and she said coldly: "If Yanran hears this, he will be killed immediately."
Wu Tingfang said angrily: "Xiaojun, how do you teach them a lesson?"
Jing Jun smiled bitterly and said: "We only have eight people, but there are more than ten of them. Guoxing's swordsmanship is very good, so we can't take advantage of them. We even injured two of them. Miao Du happened to arrive and killed them.
I drank it down and asked them to apologize in a perfunctory manner. I followed the second brother's instructions to avoid conflict with Miao Du, and left in anger, but the second brother still blamed me."
Teng Yi said angrily: "What did I tell you? I told you not to go to brothels a long time ago, but you didn't listen."
Xiang Shaolong was calm on the contrary, because he had expected that Miao Du would become more and more arrogant.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "What kind of characters are there in the Weinan Warrior Hall?"
Jing Jun rushed to say: "The most powerful one is of course the master of the hall, Qiu Risheng. Many generals in our dynasty came from them. Then there are the three major professors including Guoxing, and the other two are regular officials."
Jie, one named An Jinliang, are both famous swordsmen in Xianyang. Miao Du favored them, and there were hundreds of more generals. These people all hoped to use Miao Du's relationship to get in touch with the Queen Mother so that they could enter the court.
I heard that Lu Buwei is also very dissatisfied with the reopening of the Weinan Warriors Hall, but it is just an obstacle to the Queen Mother, so I have nothing to say."
Teng Yi added: "There are many swordsmen from all over the world in the Weinan Warrior Hall. There are many good and bad swordsmen, but there are many good ones among them. Now everyone regards you, Shaolong, as their imaginary enemy, because if they defeat you, you will immediately become the best swordsman in the Qin Dynasty."
Hand, the reputation is worth a hundred times. Alas, these people always think that the reason why Shaolong became the most popular person around the prince is all because of his superb swordsmanship."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that this was the unnecessary worry of becoming the best master in the world in martial arts novels. If it weren't for the fact that he had an official position and had a large number of personal guards coming and going, someone might have blocked his way and challenged him.
He nodded and said: "They are free to speak whatever they like. But if they go too far, we should not tolerate it, but everything should wait until the decisive battle with Guan Zhongxie. Unless we don't take action, if we do,
We must teach Qiu that Risheng will never be reborn."
His eyes flashed with cold light, and he glared at Jing Jun and said: "You already have Lu Dan'er, so you should cultivate your mind and practice martial arts diligently, otherwise you will only lose us when we face the masters from the Weinan Warrior Hall in the future.
Face, are you clear?"
It was rare for Xiang Shaolong to speak so harshly to Jing Jun. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and responded in kind.
Xiang Shaolong glanced at everyone and laughed loudly: "Let's just go to that hotel one day. Not only can we let them taste the second brother's Mozi sword and Yanran's Tianlong spear, but also let them see what it means.
"Hundred Battles Sword Technique"
Early next morning.
Xiang Shaolong launched his sword skills in a hundred battles, and for a moment, the entire area about ten feet away was filled with gleaming cold light, extremely powerful and unparalleled.
Even with Teng Yi's ability, he couldn't use Mozi's sword skills. However, Mo Sword is the main guard, so he can still hold on to a very narrow circle with his strong arm strength and heavy wooden sword, blocking seemingly all directions.
Attacking, the dazzling sword of hundreds of battles.
Jing Jun, Tao Fang and others were stunned when they saw Baizhan Sword Technique for the first time. They didn't expect such a terrifying weapon and sharp and swift sword technique.
When the swords intersect, there is always a loud sound of metal and wood, adding to the fierceness.
Since Xiang Shaolong took out the sword, the two fought fiercely for hundreds of moves, but Teng Yi still couldn't find the flaw in the sword of hundreds of battles and counterattacked.
Xiang Shaolong, however, is extremely comfortable. Because he uses the natural method of physical mechanics of the 21st century martial arts, coupled with the sword's ability to chop, and the weight of the Baizhan Sword itself and the assistance of waist steps, he can
Using the sword requires very little effort, and such a fierce offensive can continue indefinitely, causing the opponent to feel psychologically irresistible. Therefore, with Teng Yi's ability, he is still at a complete disadvantage.
Suddenly Wu Tingfang screamed: "Stop"
Xiang Shaolong didn't know what was going on. Hearing this, he put away his sword and retreated.
Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Wu Tingfang's pretty face turned red, and she said awkwardly: "Don't look at me like that. I'm really afraid that Xiang Lang is in charge of evil if he becomes the second brother."
Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi looked at each other and laughed.
Teng Yi looked at his right hand that was shaking due to exhaustion, and gasped: "Tingfang's call to stop was very timely, otherwise I might have made a fool of myself on the spot. The sword of hundreds of battles is indeed powerful, but what is really powerful is
Third Brother's sword skills are just a few straight cuts, diagonal cuts and sweeps, but they are endlessly varied and the angles are tricky. If God helps him, he will be worthy of the name of Hundred Battles."
Xiang Shaolong smiled at Jing Jun and said, "Xiaojun, do you want to come and play with me?"
Jing Jun smiled bitterly and said, "How about tomorrow? Now I'm so scared that I can't even think of taking action."
It was rare for everyone to see Jing Jun be so humble, and they burst into laughter.
Tao Fang said: "Looking at Yu Shaolong's power, now I can't wait to see the duel between Shaolong and Guan Zhongxie."
At this time, Wu Guang walked up to Xiang Shaolong and whispered a few words. Xiang Shaolong handed the Baizhan Sword to Zhao Zhi, greeted Teng Yi Jingjun and his wives, and walked towards the inner hall.
Teng Yi caught up with him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiang Shaolong whispered: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian came secretly."
After saluting and sitting down, Meng Wu said sincerely and sincerely: "Master Xiang is really a god in using troops. Tang Yi is the most brave general under my father, and he has an overwhelming advantage, but he still comes back defeated by you."
Meng Tian continued: "Dad was furious, but there was nothing he could do. However, we know his temper best, and he would never give up."
The three women exchanged glances and realized that Meng Ao had not put himself in danger and led the troops himself.
Meng Wu said distressedly: "To this day we still don't understand why dad is so devoted to this old thief Lu Buwei."
Hao Tian said habitually: "It must be the woman Lu Buwei sent to seduce my father, so that he would not even listen to my mother's words. Mother told us many times that Lu Buwei is a wolf and will never end well. Dad
Although he is confused, we will not learn from him. Alas."
Only then did Xiang Shaolong and others realize that the two of them were so close to them. In addition to having a relationship that had gone through hardships together and being persecuted by Lu Buwei, it was also involved in internal disputes within the family.
Jing Jun got along with them the most. He patted his chest and said, "I know that the prince knows your loyalty. No matter what your father does, it will not affect you."
Xiang Shaolong nodded and said: "Xiaojun is right, I have told the truth about you to the prince. He will make special use of you. And the most important thing for you now is to prevent your father from discovering the existence of your two brothers."
If you have different intentions, you can take over your father's subordinates in the future."
The two of them were happy and surprised. Meng Wu said sadly: "Does the prince want to deal with my father?"
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that Lu Buwei's biggest help now was from Meng Ao, so he could support Xiao Pan before his defeat. Judging from this, Meng Ao should have no problems in the past few years, and said: "Don't worry. Your father will be crowned Crown Prince."
There should be nothing wrong now. As long as you lead the troops well and do your part in the next five years or so, after the crown prince is crowned, all the problems will be solved. I will ask the prince, for the sake of your two brothers, not to be too embarrassed.
It’s your father’s fault.”
The two of them shed tears of gratitude and knelt down to kowtow.
Xiang Shaolong rushed forward to help the two men up, thinking that Meng Tian was the most prestigious general in Qin after Wang Jian, his heart was filled with pity and strange feeling.
After exhorting the two of them some more, he asked them to leave.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Meng Wu said worriedly: "Master Xiang, please be careful when facing Guan Zhongxie the day after tomorrow. Yesterday he came to our place to find someone to test the sword. Our brothers all ended up, but they only got beaten. He is better than Tian Lie."
It’s much more powerful now.”
Meng Tian interjected: "Master Xiang, can you not give Guan Zhongxie a chance to equalize? That would make him and Old Thief Lu angry to death."
Jing Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry, my third brother is a god who came to the world. Even if Guan Zhongxie comes out with three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape defeat."
The two brothers stared at Xiang Shaolong suspiciously.
Teng Yi hugged the two of them and said with a smile: "Xiaojun is not bragging as usual this time. Your Uncle Xiang wants to bow down to me now. Just wait and see a wonderful competition."
The two of them knew that Teng Yi was powerful and did not lie, so they relaxed a little.
Meng Tian's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "We are not willing to stand on dad's side this time, not only because old thief Lu wants to kill us and mother, but also because we want to avenge Princess Qian and Sister Chunying.
, when dealing with old thieves in the future, we must count our brothers’ points.”
Only then did Xiang Shaolong remember the harmonious relationship between his two brothers and the women that day: he felt a sharp pain in his heart, shook his head and sighed.
Teng Yi and Jing Jun knew that his sad past had been brought up, so they sent them away.
Then the three of them returned to the official office. When they were having lunch, Wang Chi came. Xiang Shaolong put down his chopsticks and went to the lobby to meet him.
After Xiang Shaolong asked Wang Chi to sit down in the upper position, he said: "The general, Yong Yu, has condescended to come here. As long as you give the order, Shaolong will go to the general's residence to receive instruction."
Wang Neng smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly change my mind and try to trick you again?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled casually and said: "General, if you want my life, Xiang Shaolong, it's just a matter of effort."
Wang Chi shook his head and said: "Your life is not so easy to win. At least Lu Buwei and Meng Ao have been disgraced and worried because of you."
He paused and furrowed his brows, then said solemnly: "Lu Buwei did have the intention to rebel. On the pretext of using the army to build the Zhengguo Canal, he asked the prince and the queen mother to obtain military symbols and mobilize soldiers. If I hadn't stopped him from using my people, I'm afraid Xianyang would have fallen by now.
It will fall into the hands of him and Meng Ao. But sooner or later I will lead the troops to go on an expedition. At that time, I will be beyond my reach, and the situation for the prince will be very dangerous. Does Shaolong have any countermeasures?"
Xiang Shaolong wanted to tell him that this situation could be changed as long as the black dragon was born, but he felt that the less people knew about it, the better, so he asked, "What does the general have to propose?"
After Wang Chi pondered for a while, he sighed: "Because I refused to kill you, I was very unhappy with Lu Buwei.
You should know that if Tian alone attacks Yan, Lu Buwei will definitely send me and Meng Ao to attack the three Jins. That will be a good time for Lu Buwei to cause rebellion. As long as all the defenders in Xianyang are replaced by his people, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince will have no choice but to rely on him.
."
Xiang Shaolong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That will happen at least next spring when the flowers bloom. Yan State is located in the north, and the winter is very cold. The fields need time to prepare. So we still have a buffer period."
Wang Chi said disdainfully: "Qi took Guan Zhong as its prime minister and was innovative and enterprising. It has great potential. Who would have thought that the people of Qi only loved empty talk and did not cultivate military equipment. They also falsely claimed that they were the Eastern Emperor, but the small Yan Kingdom was almost destroyed. Although they said so
A field man can still save his life, but he has the power to save his life. If Zhao State hadn't blocked them from our Qin army, he would have been wiped out long ago."
Xiang Shaolong said shunni: "Now that Zhao has no Lian Po, are the Zhao people still afraid?"
Wang Chi showed a solemn look, sighed and said: "When it comes to good soldiers and generals, there is no one better than Zhao in the world. If it weren't for the mediocrity of King Xiaocheng and the misuse of Zhao Kuo, it would be difficult for Bai Qi to win at Changping. Even if Lian Po is gone.
, but there is also Li Mu. This person is unpredictable in the art of war. He is better at using cavalry than King Wuling of Zhao. He is unpredictable and unpredictable. If Shaolong encounters this person in the future, he must underestimate the enemy. Otherwise
You will suffer a big loss."
Xiang Shaolong prayed in his heart that this would not happen, and at the same time, he felt sincere respect for this unparalleled star who could even conquer his enemies.
Thinking of his heroic spirit Qian Yun gave him the Blood Wave Sword that day, and also asked him to escape here, and made it clear that if we meet on the battlefield one day, we will never show mercy. How can others have such a big heart and courage?
Wang Chi sighed and said: "As long as Li Mu is here, our Qin Dynasty will never think about overthrowing Zhao."
The two of them were thinking about their own things, and they were so excited that they forgot about the dangerous situation in front of them.
Wang Chi suddenly said: "Does Shaolong know that after Cheng Qiao was granted the title of Chang'an, he not only secretly communicated with Zhao General Pang Yuan, but also secretly recruited troops and horses with the help of Du Bi? So as long as something happens to Xianyang, he will definitely come back to rob him.
Since there are still many people who support Cheng Qiao for the throne, this matter must be guarded against."
Xiang Shaolong felt a headache. It turned out that Xiaopan, the First King of Qin, was born with such difficulty. He nodded to show that he understood, and sighed: "Lu Buwei should be more concerned about this matter than us. Du Bi and Cheng Qiao are the first to kill."
This person is Lu Buwei. He has to kill at least a few more people to be able to rank me. Lu Buwei will not sit idly by and ignore me."
Wang Chi smiled bitterly and said: "When it comes to playing tricks, neither you nor I are Lu Buwei's opponent. I have been drinking with Wang Ling every night these days. When I mentioned this matter, Lao Ling said that he was deliberately indulging Du Bi and Cheng Qiao.
So as to leave this threat behind and force the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince to rely more on him."
Xiang Shaolong had anticipated this and asked, "What is the relationship between Du Bi and Lady Xiuli?"
Mrs. Xiuli was the mother of Cheng Qiao, another favorite concubine of King Zhuang Xiang.
Wang Qiandao: "They are cousins, but we all guess that they have an ulterior relationship."
After a pause, he obviously felt that he had gone too far, and said seriously: "I have an idea. I heard that your relationship with the Chu people has improved now. Can you try to persuade Li Yuan to point out that if Tian Shan dies, Yan will be the next one."
The stakes of being able to attack the Chu people will make the Chu people march on the border of Qi State, so that the land can be guaranteed and Dan Dan will not dare to attack Yan rashly."
Xiang Shaolong was very impressed with the case. After all, Jiang is old and hot. This is a replica of "Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao". The wonderful thing is that the most taboo in Li Yuan is Tian Dan, because the Qin State was tightly restrained by the Three Eastern Counties.
He had no time to pay attention to the Chu State. What's more, Li Yuan was not a good man and a believer. Naturally, he also had land ambitions for the Qi State, so this move was really wonderful. He nodded and said: "This is easy, I will fix it immediately... Hey, find someone to fix it."
, sent to Li Yuan, there should be no problem with this matter."
Wang Chi said seriously: "This matter is of great importance. Shaolong, please don't think that you can impress Li Yuan purely based on personal feelings."
Xiang Shaolong respectfully accepted the instruction and said: "Shaolong understands"
Wang Chi said happily: "As long as the war between Qi and Yan can be postponed, and when Wang Jian returns to the court and Huan Qi and Xiao Ben have become their reinforcements, I can go on the expedition with peace of mind."
Xiang Shaolong received the support of the powerful general who controlled at least a quarter of Qin's army. He felt relaxed. He remembered what happened to Jing Jun and began to speak sincerely.
Wang Chi laughed and said: "There is no problem with this. Today I will go to Lu Mansion with Wang Ling to propose marriage. You are waiting for our good news."
Xuan's expression darkened again, apparently thinking of Lu Gong and Xu Xian.
After a while, he sighed and said: "Shaolong, do you know that Lu Gong did not have sex with deer originally? Because he hunted the most deer during field hunting, the late king jokingly called him the Deer King. So he changed his surname to Lu, and the fiefdom was also called Lu Yi. Since then,
From that time on, everyone called him the Deer King, and later he was called the Deer Lord."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "General, do you know that I should not be called Xiang Shaolong now, but Long Shaoxiang, because I once boasted about Haikou and if Tian Dan was allowed to escape back to Qi, I would write my name upside down.
"
Wang Chi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly.
